Integrating infection intensity and aggregation into the dynamics of pathogens with within‐host replication

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We bridge micro‐ and macroparasite theory with a model tracking pathogen load heterogeneity. By incorporating load‐dependent mortality and within‐host pathogen growth, we show how pathogen load aggregation alters disease prevalence, host suppression effects, and virulence evolution, providing insights for managing complex infectious disease like ...

Spillover dynamics and asynchronous temporal fluctuations in host density and competence drive fungal parasite persistence in multi‐host, seasonal communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, the authors develop a new model to show that species contributions to parasite persistence can have strong, asynchronous temporal variability, often limiting the effectiveness of targeted seasonal parasite control. The model is broadly applicable for partitioning who, when, and what drive parasite persistence in multi‐host seasonal ...

Closeness and disappointment in Jordanian friendships Proximité et déception en amitié en Jordanie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Western folk models of friendship assume that friends like one another, implying mutually positive feelings. However, accounts of friendship from across times and places suggest that disappointment goes along with friendship as often as mutual affection.

Masculinity, Prostitution, and the Imaginary Northwest in Chinese Travel Writings About Shanxi and Western Inner Mongolia, 1920–1949

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article considers travel writings by metropolitan men in Republican China about Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia as a case study to further explore the transformations and continuities of Chinese masculinities. Drawing upon a range of popular travel narratives, it shows that so‐called “Worn‐Out Shoes (poxie)” – women perceived as ...
